Delhi's E-Waste Revolution: Eco Park Initiative

Delhi is set to establish an e-waste eco park in Holambi Kalan under a PPP model, inspired by Norway's Revac facility. The project aims to process 51,000 metric tonnes of e-waste annually, fostering both economic growth and environmental conservation, while creating green jobs and formalizing the e-waste sector.

Delhi is poised to launch a pioneering e-waste eco park in Holambi Kalan, operating under a Public Private Partnership (PPP) model. Announced by Minister of Industries Manjinder Singh Sirsa, the initiative draws inspiration from Norway's successful Revac facility.

Minister Sirsa, advocating for sustainable practices, emphasized Delhi's commitment to integrating environmental stewardship with industrial growth. He affirmed that the eco park will adhere to global environmental standards, ensuring economic development does not compromise ecological well-being.

The facility is projected to handle 51,000 metric tonnes of e-waste yearly, generating significant revenue and green jobs. The eco park marks a significant stride in formalizing Delhi's informal e-waste sector, supporting India's Viksit Bharat@2047 mission for sustainable urban development.
